## Description

As this company expands the market for their digital asset management system beyond its traditional clientele of expert users, the need has arisen to provide more extensive API and help documentation.

Initially, this role will involve working with colleagues from the engineering and commercial teams to learn the feature set and API of the company's software whilst producing high-quality technical user documentation. This may include software user guides, help materials, diagrams, and video tutorials.

Once the documentation task is complete after six to eight months, the role would evolve, leveraging your acquired domain knowledge to transition into new areas such as marketing or product ownership. You would be responsible for the content and overall styling of the company's documentation, and ultimately have a major input to the software user interface and the product roadmap.
